The one in Kolkata is (Salt Lake Stadium). 100000 official capacity.

100k or 120k? Either way, its a shame it won't see a major tournament for at least a while.

Yeah 120k, apologies. Got things mixed up with the Eden Gardens. I don't know why we decided to shift the home India matches to the Ambedkar in Delhi.

There was talk of a Man Utd-Juve friendly there in August.

True..just because of "the capital" thing...

Friendlies are nice, but it would be great if we could host a major tourno at some time..maybe pull off a "Qatar"

I hope they don't host the friendly, it's not like we need more Utd fans here

Last time I was in India, I saw Chelsea shirts everywhere. Though of course that was only a few weeks after the Double.

as mentioned already, it depends on the person. an english fan may probably not think too much of the euros but ireland is buzzing about the euros right now. maybe if england were a bit more successful in the past, things would be different
